To Address the Spread of Coronavirus

YUBA CITY, CA (MPG) - Due to the recent widespread surge of COVID 19 cases in our counties and our desire to reduce the risk of transmission among our patients and staff, we will be limiting visitors in all our facilities effective Tuesday, November 17 at 8 a.m.

Specifically, no visitors will be allowed for any patients except for OB patients and those who are at the end of life. In such cases, visitors will be limited to only ONE visitor on a 24-hour basis. This no visiting restriction extends to the Cancer Center, the Emergency Room, and our senior living facilities - The Fountains, The Courtyards and The Gardens.

For OB patients and for those who are at the end of life, visiting will be limited to those persons 18 or older who pass all COVID-19 screening criteria. All visitors will be screened upon entry and will not be able to visit if they are determined at risk.

Patients are encouraged to use FaceTime, Skype, WhatsApp or their preferred telephone or video chat application.

While we understand the importance of visitors and loved ones, we want to take all precautions for everyone who enters our doors.
